Ileana Johnson: From Communist Romania to Defending US Freedo

By Catherine Yang January 13, 2020 Updated: January 14, 2020

America is forgetting what it means to be America, and that’s not a joke, says Ileana Paugh Johnson, whose arrival to the United States is one of herbest memories. Johnson grew up in communist Romania and knows intimately the ills of a socialist society; over her years as an educator, she’s seen how quickly communism’s lies can take hold............Johnson says the answer is quite simple. They’ve taken the same playbook used to implement communism in Europe, and it’s working like a charm in the United States.

Ileana Johnson grew up in communist Romania.

The jargon itself may be complicated, but the idea is not. It is the same thing that has played out in every socialist country..........This is central planning. “It’s Collectivism 101,” Johnson said..........

Johnson’s greater hope is that the education system can be overturned, but for the moment she is doing her part to educate her fellow Americans.

It’s like dementia, she said.........To Read More...
